Jerry is on and mixed high this show which is all acoustic. Coming off a tour Brent starts it off on 3rd and 4th tunes that he knows by laying down nice
...
piano runs sparking Jerry as usual. Kahn on bass is less obtrusive than Phil and fits the material. Great percussion from Bill and Mickey. A nice listen and of course, Oh Boy!

Subject: Just a quick correction
I liked Olo's review below, some good perspective but we need to clarify that these are not really two back-to-back GD performances without Lesh, as he
...
made it sound. At the 4.25 BCT show, Brent was not there - unless I am mistaken. DeadBase had these shows documented for years, and I believe that is where I got my info. i was an east Coast head from VA, saw 92 shows, only 15 of them in the Bay Area including Greek and Kaiser '86 (both runs) but they were all fantastic. That said tehse are still quite unique and worth streaming.

"May 22, 1981 Fox Warfield Theatre, San Francisco: Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Bill ... Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart/Holly Near/Norton Buffalo and Merl Saunders/
After the Grateful Dead re-introduced their acoustic lineup at the Fox-Warfield Theater in September, 1980, they realized the more streamlined acoustic configuration was a more viable lineup for benefits. Less equipment and more modest expectations made the show less of an event, while still capitalizing on the Dead’s drawing power. Keeping with their Bay Area policy, whenever they were billed as other than “The Grateful Dead”, fans expected something different and less dramatic than a full Grateful Dead electric extravaganza.
After a low-key SEVA benefit at Berkeley Community Theater, on April 25, 1981, featuring only Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir on acoustic guitars, John Kahn on stand-up bass and Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart on drums, the band had a somewhat higher profile event at the Fox-Warfield (the theatre, at 982 Market Street, did not change its name to The Warfield until a few years later). An anti-nuclear power (No Nukes) benefit was held, with “Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart” as the headline act. There were a number of interesting aspects about this show that remain unreported, since it was not a high-profile show outside of the immediate Bay Area (and there being no internet and all). Specifically, there was a one-time Grateful Dead configuration, and the first and best appearance of a band later known as High Noon.
To dispense quickly with the Grateful Dead part: the band came on last, introduced by Wavy Gravy as “Captain JerryBobKreutzHart,” taking care not to call them the Grateful Dead. Brent Mydland was on board playing acoustic piano, but John Kahn remained on acoustic bass. Of course, this was a West Coast perception, as between the two acoustic benefit performances there had been an entire East Coast tour, but for most people in the Bay Area John Kahn had been on bass the last time we saw the Dead.
Some time later I asked Dennis McNally why Phil hadn’t played those shows, and Phil had apparently told Dennis “because no one asked me.” Thus this show and the April 25 BCT show have to stand as Grateful Dead shows without Phil Lesh, making them unique indeed. The actual performances were quite good (you can decide for yourself), but the fact that Kahn played bass instead of Phil seems somewhat forgotten—certainly it isn’t noted on Deadlists or Archives."

Thanks for the great blog.

But this is very special! I sure wish these post-Radio City acoustic sets were soundboards. This is pretty rough, but the music here is fantastic! Cassidy

is wildly jammed and this To Lay Me Down is extraordinary!
